City Manal
Item to be
Rich k=derson
The City council recently asked the staff to research State law regarding the regulation of
manufactured housing to be placed on residential lots, and draft an ordinance which
incorporates the latest enabling legislation.
The State now allows a city to prohibit the placement of manufactured housing which was
constructed more than ten years prior. The attached draft ordinance includes this provision,
and requires 16 -inch eaves.
The draft ordinance also proposes an amendment which would regulate materials used in
siding on all residences in the City. This provision would prohibit metallic siding throughout
the City, thereby assuring a degree of compatibility with our existing community, as
envisioned in the General Plan.
Receive and direct staff to advertise a public hearing at the Planning Commission.
